Recently, I re-formatted my Windows 7 PC due to some issues. Accidentally, I created two partitions that divide my PC into two drives. I know that creating partitions is advisable in any case that the default drive encountered any major problems, but I don't really need to divide my computer system into two.

I am more into playing games that requires large size of memory so I want to remove the other partition without affecting or leaving any major issues with my computer. How can I remove a partition in Windows 7? Kindly please send some help.

Thanks.

In the past, this required third-party tools, but as you're using Windows 7, you're in luck: everything that you need is already on your system.
 
I'll show you, step by step and in the video, how to remove that partition and how to recover the space that it occupied into the adjacent drive.
 
Disk Management.
 
The disk management tool that's always been a part of Windows was upgraded in Windows 7 to allow you to do exactly the kind of partition management task that you're talking about.
 
Right-click "Computer" - either the icon on your desktop, or the item in the Start menu - and click.
